My new bracelets finally arrived!

These fair trade brass bracelets are handmade by silversmith Raju from Nepal. They’re made from brass, and engraved with the text ‘home is where your heart is’ in my grandmother’s handwriting. Raju is connected to a fair trade company, which will invest the profits in their schooling programs, small orphanage, day care and workplace in Patan, Nepal.  

Every bracelet comes in a handmade and letter pressed box, made from non dyed Lokta paper. The Lokta paper itself, is also made by hand in the same little factory in Bhaktapur, Nepal.

A special gift for your loved ones these holidays!
